Zuun Mod adds a second growth track
The latest project figure shifts attention beyond Bayan Khundii. A Yahoo Finance report dated October 16, 2026 said the Zuun Mod preliminary economic assessment outlined an after-tax net present value of USD 745.00 million, a 16.00 percent internal rate of return and nearly USD 5.00 billion in free cash flow. The assessment assumes a 34-year operation, but it is preliminary and includes inferred resources.
Quarterly income supports the valuation
The second-quarter result included CAD 9.99 million of net income and CAD 0.15 diluted earnings per share. The report also said the Bayan Khundii joint venture produced and sold 11,709 ounces of gold, up 37.00 percent from the first quarter of 2026. That operating contribution is the central link between the producing mine and the Zuun Mod development pipeline.
The Northern Miner reported on October 15, 2026 that initial capital for Zuun Mod was estimated at USD 687.00 million and that production was targeted for 2031. The project would produce molybdenum and copper over 34 years, while Erdene seeks a partner for the larger development.

Price and project milestones
The next market question is whether Bayan Khundii cash generation can fund development while Erdene advances Zuun Mod. The project economics provide scale, but the study remains preliminary and the mine plan depends on further work and financing.
